Everything You Need to Know About the Peloton Australia Launch
What Is Peloton?
Peloton was created in 2012 with the vision of using technology to bring fitness and community into peoples homes.
Finally available in Australia, we’ll be able to access the gym-studio-style immersive classes via the Peloton Bike, the Peloton Bike+, and the Peloton App. Whether you’re after a sweat-heavy spin class, a full body HIIT workout, or a chill yoga session, Peloton’s got everything covered—and it really is as close to a group gym class as you can get virtually.
Peloton Bikes

Peloton’s Australia launch features two bikes: The Peloton Bike and the Peloton Bike+. Named “The Best Cardio Machine in the World'' by Men’s Health, this is the number one piece of equipment you should invest in for your home gym.
With touchscreen displays, speakers, and a sleek silhouette, you’ll feel like you’re in a studio-style spin class no matter where you are. While both bikes are premium, the Peloton Bike+ offers a few more features for those who really want to go the full hog.
Regardless of which bike you pick, though, you’ll still have access to thousands of guided classes, led by the fitness industry’s top instructors around the world. If you’re feeling social, you can even choose a live class to join and work out with others for an extra dose of motivation.
Peloton App

If you’re not ready to commit to the bike right now, the good news is that the Peloton app is available to everyone, not just bike owners.
A one-stop shop for all workouts, the Peloton app is like having a world-class trainer in your pocket at all times. With classes ranging from running to meditation, the app has something for everyone, no matter what your fitness goals may be.
With no equipment necessary, the Peloton app is the perfect place to start for those who are new to fitness or are struggling to figure out how to work out from home. With gyms sporadically closing across the country with on-again-off-again lockdowns, there’s never been a better time to rethink your fitness regime.
Best of all, Peloton is offering a free 3-month trial for all new users during the Australia launch. You can test it out in a low-commitment way before deciding whether you want to commit to the monthly cost of $16.99. Once you see the results, we’re betting you will.
How Much Does Peloton Cost
Depending on what suits your fancy, Peloton can start from as low as $16.99 per month with the app, or cost up to $4,395 for the Bike+ Family pack.
